tablet(s)

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the formula

We use the formula: Number of tablets = $\frac{Desired\ dose}{Dose\ per\ tablet}$.

Step2: Substitute the values

Desired dose is 10 mg and dose per tablet is 2.5 mg. So, Number of tablets = $\frac{10}{2.5}$.

Step3: Calculate the result

$\frac{10}{2.5}=4$.
